Kevin Luong walks to the ocean’s edge with a broken heart. Remembering a legend his mother told him, he lets seven tears fall into the sea. “I just want one summer—one summer to be happy and in love.” Instead, he finds himself saving a mysterious boy from the Pacific…a boy who later shows up on his doorstep professing his love.
In one of the drafts for Seven Tears At High Tide, I thought about doing a series of flashbacks, but it didn’t end up working with the flow of the story. This is a scene from Morgan’s adolescence and shows more of his relationship with the rest of the selkies and his thoughts on how he fits in.
The incredible Tiffany Chien helped bring Seven Tears at High Tide to life with her stunning photography! We captured the dreamy look of the novel and the ever-changing landscape of the California coast on a windy, blustery day, with the tang of salt in the air and magic on the horizon…
